This is a classic example of style over substance. 95% of its value lies outside, in the public park and waterfall area, which are free and beautiful. That’s where the visit should end. Unfortunately, if you’re tempted to step inside — prepare to be disappointed and overcharged. A €15 fee is required just to enter, including access to the restaurant, which is outrageous. The so-called "museum" consists of a few rooms with clothing displays, no descriptions to most, and zero context unless you're willing to pay extra for a guide. For a private museum, it’s embarrassingly amateur — especially when compared to places like Victoria Karelias Museum in Kalamata, which offers a far more professional and curated experience at a fraction of the price. Frankly, the museum feels like a borderline scam. Then there’s the restaurant, which manages to sink even lower. The service is shockingly poor — staff don’t care how many menus your table gets, cutlery is missing, and basic items like sugar aren’t provided unless requested multiple times. Even worse, they couldn’t prepare an Americano, despite it being listed on their short, basic menu. Staff clearly don’t know their own offerinh and overall, you feel like a burden, not a guest. Although creme brule was tasty. There are 43 Michelin guide recommend restaurants in Estonia for much more competitive price, no wonder why.
Bottom line: Take some lovely pictures outside, enjoy the nature — but do yourself a favor and don’t spend a eurocent inside. It’s a rip-off wrapped in...

Dishes were served one by one at intervals of 20 minutes. When one person finished eating, the dish was brought to the next one. We came together and wanted to enjoy food together. In total last person waited for their food for 1,5 hours. In the begging of our brunch we asked for the bread and we got bread only after the dessert was eaten. The waiter responded very rudely and was insolent. The waiter said that he is owner and he never apologised for being rude. The castle is very beautiful but because of restaurant our mood was very bad and we had only negative...
Read moreIt's a quite interesting place with a truly unique history. Additionally, it's great to be here on Estonian Independence Day. During our visit, there was a quite large selection of Dior clothes from the 1950s and 1960s temporarily exhibited here. The castle is superbly restored with beautiful pieces of furniture such as mirrors, chairs, tables, and chandeliers, although most of the old paintings are copies. The administrator was very polite and helpful. Anyway, the unique building is worth the ticket price; admission costs 15...
